HC Deb 12 December 1968 vol 775 c196W
67. Mr. Peter M. Jackson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the number of local education authorities who have complied, or who have notified him that they intend to comply, with his request that the deemed proportion and standard rate in respect of fees charged by colleges for industrial training be increased.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The recommendation to increase the standard rate charged by technical colleges for industrial training was made by the associations of local authorities, and conveyed by the Department on their behalf to local education authorities. The associations did not recommend any increase in the deemed proportion. Local education authorities do not notify me of their intentions with regard to guidance of this nature.
